  • An Emerging Architecture in Smart Phones
    International Journal of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Vol. 3, No. 2, 2018, pp. 29-38 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ijeecs ARM Processor Architecture: An Emerging Architecture in Smart Phones Naseer Ahmad, Muhammad Waqas Boota * Department of Computer Science, Virtual University of Pakistan, Lahore, Pakistan Abstract ARM is a 32-bit RISC processor architecture. It is develop and licenses by British company ARM holdings. ARM holding does not manufacture and sell the CPU devices. ARM holding only licenses the processor architecture to interested parties. There are two main types of licences implementation licenses and architecture licenses. ARM processors have a unique combination of feature such as ARM core is very simple as compare to general purpose processors. ARM chip has several peripheral controller, a digital signal processor and ARM core. ARM processor consumes less power but provide the high performance. Now a day, ARM Cortex series is very popular in Smartphone devices. We will also see the important characteristics of cortex series. We discuss the ARM processor and system on a chip (SOC) which includes the Qualcomm, Snapdragon, nVidia Tegra, and Apple system on chips. In this paper, we discuss the features of ARM processor and Intel atom processor and see which processor is best. Finally, we will discuss the future of ARM processor in Smartphone devices.

  • Comparative Study of Various Systems on Chips Embedded in Mobile Devices
    Innovative Systems Design and Engineering www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1727 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2871 (Online) Vol.4, No.7, 2013 - National Conference on Emerging Trends in Electrical, Instrumentation & Communication Engineering Comparative Study of Various Systems on Chips Embedded in Mobile Devices Deepti Bansal(Assistant Professor) BVCOE, New Delhi Tel N: +919711341624 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Systems-on-chips (SoCs) are the latest incarnation of very large scale integration (VLSI) technology. A single integrated circuit can contain over 100 million transistors. Harnessing all this computing power requires designers to move beyond logic design into computer architecture, meet real-time deadlines, ensure low-power operation, and so on. These opportunities and challenges make SoC design an important field of research. So in the paper we will try to focus on the various aspects of SOC and the applications offered by it. Also the different parameters to be checked for functional verification like integration and complexity are described in brief. We will focus mainly on the applications of system on chip in mobile devices and then we will compare various mobile vendors in terms of different parameters like cost, memory, features, weight, and battery life, audio and video applications. A brief discussion on the upcoming technologies in SoC used in smart phones as announced by Intel, Microsoft, Texas etc. is also taken up. Keywords: System on Chip, Core Frame Architecture, Arm Processors, Smartphone. 1. Introduction: What Is SoC? We first need to define system-on-chip (SoC). A SoC is a complex integrated circuit that implements most or all of the functions of a complete electronic system.
